No, you can only install pure Python modules yourself. Modules such as numpy and matplotlib that use C, Cython, Fortran or other compiled languages need to be integrated into Pythonista by omz, because Apple's app guidelines do not allow compiling native code in an app, and simply because there are no C compilers for iOS on iOS.

Exactly. str is the string class, and you can use it to convert an object to a string. For example, str(42) is the same as '42'. This is important when you want to do something like this:

print("Your score is: " + str(42))

Without using str, you would get a TypeError, because you can't add a string and a number.

This means that if you assign something different to the name str, you cannot use the original str class anymore. The same goes for other standard types like int, float, list, dict, etc.
